Re: ECM And Ignition Module Availability/ replacement
I work for a company, that designs and produces printed circuit boards. After seeing that picture of the DIS module made me think. Could it be redesigned to modern specs? I know nothing about electronics, I'm just the inventory manager. But I honestly think it could made new. But just as someone said, it would be expensive......Maybe a group fund or something to pay for the design and production / testing? We do all of our design, engineering, production and testing in house. As far as I know we are one of the few places in the country that makes certain embedded, and printed boards.
Lol I'm not hocking where I work, but here is our website............ http://www.emacinc.com/ Last edited by rush91; 08-03-2016 at 05:39 PM. |

Re: ECM And Ignition Module Availability/ replacement
Hi Jerry,
What Aftermarket systems are good for use with the LT5? I assume the Megasquirt will work with an external trigger wheel. I am curious of all the options currently

Others here can answer "all the options currently" question better than I can. I think all aftermarket units will probably require a trigger wheel different than the reluctor wheel on the LT5 crank.

Re: ECM And Ignition Module Availability/ replacement
Fair enough.. I knew it would require an external trigger wheel

Re: ECM And Ignition Module Availability/ replacement
So this still is a major concern.. Do we know how many Ignition Modules have failed? If mine fails, my car would become a big paper weight. If there are other avenues for ignition they need to be explored..

There will probably be a work around with other factory parts in the future, but not until there is zero availability of the original modules. |
